10 minutes into a 20 minute video and I've already been interrupted by ads TWICE. Watching on a console app so no add blocker.

30 second ad to watch a 2 minute video. I absolutely despise it.

I love raid shadow legends.

The new RPG title Raid: Shadow Legends is an immersive online experience with everything you expect from a new RPG. It features an amazing storyline, awesome graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never-before-seen champions to collect and customize.

This level of performance was unexpected in a mobile game. Take a look at how detailed these champions are!

Shadow Legends is growing fast, so you should definitely get in early. If you start now, you will have a huge advantage over your competitors. A Special Launch Tournament will be held soon with crazy prizes! This game is completely free as well!

Check out the video description to learn more about RAID: Shadow Legends. On that page, you will find a link to the store page and a special code to unlock all sorts of goodies. As part of the new players program, the RAID: Shadow LegendsTM developers are offering 50,000 Silver and a FREE Epic Level Champion as part of the special code.

In the beginning days, people uploaded videos on YouTube for fun and entertainment. Now, people upload videos on YouTube for a career.

That's the biggest difference imo.

Can you pay to avoid ads? Asking someone to provide you with free service without even listening to their ads is kind of difficult. You must hate watching football games with those interruptions.

I'd be willing to pay twice the price for no ads if I weren't funding Google.

If you use YouTube music you don't have to pay for YouTube ads.

We’re ripe for a strong competitor to come along that won’t surrender to $ offered by Google.

Many you tubers are imbedding the ads in their content. like "while we're here let's talk about X, X is great and right now you can get X with this special code blah blah" Can't get around that with premium.

Ads are annoying but there's nothing like falling down a YouTube rabbit hole.

It depends on the poster, not YouTube itself. Blame whoever uploaded the video

Got Red (or whatever they call it now) for Cobra Kai, but kept it and pretty much everything I watch is through there and ad-free.

It’s bad that the porn sites have a better grip on ads.

Wait, so.....you're even going to bitch about content creators getting/doing their own ads? Good lord....you actually want them to be making no money whatsoever?

I get bitching about embedded ads, but the ones they promote themselves are fine with me, and you can fast forward through them.

In reality, YouTube wouldn't be anywhere near what it is now without the ad revenue it generates. You kind of have to take the good with the bad in this case.

I wasn't a fan of watching movies that were broken down into 9 min clips. Now, there are 20+ hr videos on there. As long as I can block ads, I'll take the current version.
